The patch titled pcmcia: ipwireless depends on NETDEVICES has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was pcmcia-ipwireless-depends-on-netdevices.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: pcmcia: ipwireless depends on NETDEVICES From: Paul Mundt <lethal@xxxxxxxxxxxx> ipwireless (added by 099dc4fb62653f6019d78db55fba7a18ef02d65b) is clearly a net device: drivers/built-in.o: In function `ipwireless_ppp_start_xmit': /home/pmundt/devel/git/sh-2.6.25/drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/network.c:165: undefined reference to `skb_under_panic' /home/pmundt/devel/git/sh-2.6.25/drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/network.c:165: undefined reference to `kfree_skb' drivers/built-in.o: In function `ipwireless_network_packet_received': /home/pmundt/devel/git/sh-2.6.25/drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/network.c:377: undefined reference to `__alloc_skb' /home/pmundt/devel/git/sh-2.6.25/drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/network.c:377: undefined reference to `skb_over_panic' drivers/built-in.o: In function `ppp_shutdown_interface': /home/pmundt/devel/git/sh-2.6.25/drivers/net/ppp_generic.c:2517: undefined reference to `unregister_netdev' /home/pmundt/devel/git/sh-2.6.25/drivers/net/ppp_generic.c:2517: undefined reference to `free_netdev' [ ... and many more ... ] select strikes again. ipwireless selects PPP which in turn tries to select SLHC, both of which are technically "protected" by an if NETDEVICES in drivers/net/Kconfig. This leads to .config hilarity, with net suddenly ending up in the SCSI menu: # # SCSI device support # # CONFIG_SCSI_DMA is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK is not set CONFIG_PPP=y # CONFIG_PHONE is not set Curiously the SLHC select from PPP doesn't seem to happen, as there's no CONFIG_SLHC=y (only CONFIG_PPP=y gets set) -- Kconfig bug? Caught with a randconfig.
